Letter to AARP by: Walt and Cindy - Miller equine transport

This letter to the AARP says it all. It is a must read
regardless of your age. Some people just make sense in what they say. This
lady certainly does. Please forward this to everyone on your contact
list.

This was sent last month (September 09) to Mr. Rand who is the Executive Director of
AARP

Dear Mr. Rand,Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us
to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. I know it is not
what you were looking for, but this is the most honest response I can give you.
Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a
deepening lack of faith.

While we have proudly maintained our membership for several
years and have long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can
no longer endorse it's abdication of our values. Your letter specifically stated
that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is
not ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through
DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to
embrace. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything
presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and
long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the
philosophy which spawned our 200 years of government.

Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior
demographic. We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our
voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a
sense of belonging which we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by
the Obama administration and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood
pressure my medical insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest
there!

We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by
the guiding forces whom we expected to map out our senior years and leave your
ranks with a great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the
relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by
renewing our membership. There are numerous other organizations which offer
discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our
sensibilities.

This Presidential Administration scares the living daylights out
of us. Not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage,but
even more importantly for our children and grandchildren. Washington has
rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction
scare tactic. I have never in my life endorsed any militant or radical groups,
yet now I find myself listening to them. I don't have to agree with them to
appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity
presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist mindset in
power. Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic
uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the
freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities it requires.

Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all
communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING??? Someone has broken into our
'house', invaded our home without our invitation or consent. The President has
insisted we keep the perpetrator in comfort and learn the perp language so we
can communicate our reluctant welcome to them.I DON'T choose to welcome
them.I DON'T choose to support them.I DON'T choose to educate them.I
DON'T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or clothing.American home
invaders get arrested.Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy
privileges on American soil that Americans do not get? Why do some
immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have to break
& enter to be welcomed?

We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great
country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there. He meets more
people than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all the many good folks he
enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the
current administration. One of us is out of touch with mainstream America .
Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than one
which is power driven.

We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list,
and will encourage them to do the same. With several hundred in my address book,
I have every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible
statement to you..I am disappointed as hell.I am scared as hell.I am
MAD as hell, and I'm NOT gonna take it anymore!
